This win extends Finidi's impressive start at the helm of Rivers United, with the team now boasting two wins and a draw from his first three matches in charge.
Finidi's tenure at Rivers United began with a convincing 3-1 home victory over Heartland, where Abdullahi announced himself with a brace.
)
The team then showed resilience in their second fixture, holding Bendel Insurance to a goalless draw despite playing most of the match with 10 men.
Now, with this latest triumph in Lafia, Rivers United have collected seven points from a possible nine under Finidi's stewardship.
)
This strong start is particularly noteworthy given the circumstances of Finidi's arrival at the club, following his resignation from the Super Eagles coaching position.
The former international winger seems determined to prove his mettle in club management after what many considered a disappointing stint with the national team.
)
His tactical acumen and ability to motivate players are already evident in Rivers United's performances, with the team showing both attacking intent and defensive solidity.
Summer signing, Abdullahi's continued good form is a testament to Finidi's man-management skills, with the striker now having scored three crucial goals in the new manager's first three matches.
With Rivers United now top of the NPFL table, all eyes will be on Finidi George to see if he can maintain this impressive momentum and potentially challenge for honors this season.
For now, it appears the ex-Super Eagles coach is well on his way to rebuilding his reputation in Nigerian football through his work at club level.
